1. do not allow external modules to touch internal field of a timer.
2. make timer mode internal, period_in_ticks will decide the mode.
API wise:
1. the "mode" parameter was taken out of initialize_timer().
2. a new function update_timer() was added to update the timeout and
period fields.
3. the timer_expired() function was extended with an output parameter
to return the remaining cycles before expiration.
Also, the "fire_tsc" field name of hv_timer was renamed to "timeout".
With the new API, however, this change should not concern user code.

x86/timer.[ch] was moved to the common directory largely unchanged.
x86 specific code now resides in x86/tsc_deadline_timer.c and its
interface was defined in hw/hw_timer.h. The interface defines two
functions: init_hw_timer() and set_hw_timeout() that provides HW
specific initialization and timer interrupt source.
Other than these two functions, the timer module is largely arch
agnostic.
